2. A brief history of St. Patrick's Day. Today you'll be skipping work and going to the local pub to get drunk at 9 a.m. all in the name of St. Patrick. Everyone will be wearing green, drinking green beer, being loud, jamming to Irish music, and probably forgetting how they got home (have a DD or call a cab/Uber/Lyft). What most people don't actually know is anything at all about Who St. Patrick was and why we all celebrate this secular holiday. What if I told you that St. Patrick wasn't ever Irish? Blimey! What?! It's true.

Learn about the amazing discovery of the star system TRAPPIST-1. In case you've been completely out of it because of politics and what not, you may have kept the news off long enough to miss the incredible discovery of a solar system with 7 planets orbiting a very small star. It's one of the biggest discovery of exoplanets in this history of mankind. That may sound like hyperbole, but guess what? Three of the planets are in the habitable zone AKA the Goldilocks zone.

Seven Earth-sized planets have been observed by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope around a tiny, nearby, ultra-cool dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1. Three of these planets are firmly in the habitable zone.

Over 21 days, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope measured the drop in light as each planet passed in front of the star. Spitzer was able to identify a total of seven rocky worlds, including three in the habitable zone, where liquid water might be found.

The video features interviews with Sean Carey, manager of the Spitzer Science Center, Caltech/IPAC; Nikole Lewis, James Webb Space Telescope project scientist, Space Telescope Science Institute; and Michaël Gillon, principal investigator, TRAPPIST, University of Liege,
